Even with a bigger capacitor soldered in, booting without battery
was not reliable on my gta02. I used a tiny lipo battery from a toy
helicopter and twisted leads around the battery connector.<br>

Here are some pictures of my gta02 hard at work being a remote
pulseaudio sink so I can play music over wifi to my stereo:

Currently software is the problem with this project. I spent a long
time hacking an SHR install to boot without X, but with wifi and
pulseaudio. Sometime I will try a distro that still uses initd. I
started to read about hackable1 then got distracted.<br>
